It will save you a bundle of money when you stand on the dock and watch the boat sail away without you. Or you fall down the stairs. Or the Airline loses your suitcase (after charging you extra to check it) Or you have a Coronary and need shipped back to the states.

Amen...or one of the 9,000 reasons that I read about on Carnival's page every week.

There never seems to be a shortage of individuals who are furious at Carnival because the passenger elected not to buy insurance and then their MIL died or their grandfather was taken to the hospital or their husband lost their job or their husband GOT a new job and now can not sail...etc etc etc etc etc
